St Paul's Park

Thanks once again to the volunteers who planted the daffodils in St Paul's Park a few years back. They really looked lovely this year, as in others.Does anybody have a date for the grand opening of the drinking fountain? How wonderful to have that working again.

Hi Anne, the restoration was one ofvthe first projects the FoSP's identified when we formed. We applied for CIL funds and then got support from Historic London, then finally with the help of Cllr Curran the extra funds were found.We've had new saplings planted in the last month and we have over a 100 whips arriving soon from the Woodland Trust which will be planted in the dog walking area along by Albany Rd. The next project is to upgrade the basketball court in the play area, and then we have more projects in the pipeline for later in the year when more funds become available.

Hello Martin - can you say how the reinstatement of the drinking fountain has come about?Also, I've heard something about there going to be some new trees for the park. Do you know anything about this?Thanks.
